Historic Charm & Walkable Community

👥 Overview & History

Ardmore is Winston‑Salem’s largest historic district, with over 2,000 homes built from the 1910s through the 1950s. Originally developed as the Crafton Heights suburb and formally named in 1912, it blends architectural styles like Craftsman bungalows, Colonial Revival, and mid‑century designs across a tree-lined, walkable grid.

🚗 Location & Lifestyle

Set just three miles southwest of downtown, Ardmore sits between Wake Forest Baptist and Forsyth Hospitals, making it popular with medical professionals and families alike. Residents often praise its lush greenery, sidewalks, and easy access to nearby shops, parks, and major thoroughfares like Hawthorne and Cloverdale.
